All of the items listed should be looked at. Add upper pulley float too worn (too much float), freewheel or cassette cogs are loose on the body, wrong type of cable casing (not SIS grade) and the deal breaker- a broken frame. Often this kind of problem on such an old bike is a combo of a few issues that collectively add up. Andy.
